liquor tainted the air fragrant with
the perfume Of innocent, beautiful
flowers. The table groaned with
delicacies there were many devil
ces of the confectioner which call
ed forth admiration. Many won
dered why the oranges seemed to
be altogether preferred, and the
walters were kept busy replenish-
ing the salvers upon which the
tropical fruit lay. Chances tele-
graphed to one another that the
missing link was found, and that,
within the oranges, was
delicious frozen punch, . Large in
gredient of which was strong old
Santa Crofx rum. Thenceforth
without the knowledge of Mrs.
Hayes, of course) Roman punch
was served about the middle of
the state dinners, caro- being taken
to give the glasses containing the
strongest mixture to those who
were longing for some potent bev-
erage. This phase of the dinner
was named by those who enjoyed
it, "the Life-Saying Station"
The Hayes administration was
in itself a fraud, Hayes acting
President while Samuel J. Tilden
was the man the people had elect
ed President. It, therefore, will
cause but very little surprise Al
this late day, through a party tina
was undoubtedly friendly to thu
fraudulent administration, that thu
much-heralded temperance profes
sions that prevailed in and arount
the White House during those fou.
years, were also fraudulent, onl.

The editor of the Eaton Demo
crat is still wandering about among
the debris of the 1875 Presidential
contest. He probably hasn't heard
that Tilden is dead and that Hayes
has quit "usurping" and gone into
the hennery business.-GreenuiHc
Courier.
Yes, he knows that Tilden is
dead, and he also knows that the
man is living and quietly enjoying
the benefits of 100000 stolen
from the dead statesman.

1t will be information to very
many to know that a yearly adver-

the Chicago Tribune costs the adj

est, $4S,754; the New York Tri-

yet there are fellows in the news

around in terrible distress because
some publishers charge at the rate
of about $3.50 per column!

Millions of dollars of northern
capital are finding investment in
the Southern States. The business
centers of Georgia, notably about
Rome and Atlanta, are having a
boom almost equal to that of Ten
nessee and Alabama. One good
effect of this movement will be the
utter extirpation of the doctrine of
sectional hatred SO long preached
by Republican politicians.
